Sometimes, little dogs just don’t seem to know what’s good for them.
One video has recently gone viral, in which a tiny chihuahua harasses an American bulldog that’s almost 10 times its size. Although it’s clear the bulldog is only interested in going to sleep, the intrepid chihuahua won’t stop running around him and pulling and biting his tail.
The chihuahua keeps lunging playfully toward the bulldog.
It’s obvious he wants to play, but the bulldog isn’t interested.
Eventually, the bulldog starts to snap gently at the chihuahua. He’s clearly annoyed and wants to be left alone. Amazingly, the chihuahua doesn’t seem frightened in the slightest. The moment he can, he’s back at it, trying to play some more. It almost makes you wonder if he knows he’s annoying the bigger dog and is enjoying it!
The bulldog even bops the chihuahua on the head with a paw.
For such a tiny dog, that’s a pretty hard hit! But the little pup isn’t deterred for a moment.
At last, the bulldog seems to give in. But he’s going to interact with the chihuahua in his own way — through cuddles. He gently nuzzles the little dog, who climbs on his face. After a moment, the bulldog is convinced to play.
He’s still sleepy, so he stays resting on the floor, gently biting the chihuahua’s back legs.
It seems like he understands their enormous size difference means that he needs to be very careful with the little dog.
As for the chihuahua, he’s thrilled that he’s finally convinced his friend to play. He jumps back up and prances all around the bigger dog, pouncing on his tail, feet, and even his nose. Despite the difference in their sizes, the tiny dog isn’t afraid at all!
Meanwhile, the internet simply can’t get enough of these two unlikely friends.
“he protec, he attac, but most importantly he never bites small doggo bacc,” wrote one YouTube commenter, parodying a series of popular memes.
Others remembered other unlikely dog friendships they’d witnessed in their own lives.
“Funny, I knew a couple that had this exact combination of dogs,” wrote another commenter. “The pit bull was extremely protective of the little one and best friends, that even when human parents split, they had to arrange doggy play dates.”
People also praised the bulldog for his gentleness toward the chihuahua, since he could easily have hurt him if he’d been just a little rougher. But the dog seemed to understand it was his job to be gentle and kind, no matter how much the chihuahua annoyed him.
And others were simply happy to see an interaction that was so uplifting.
“When you’re having a lousy day and you turn YouTube on and watch this…your day is all of a sudden better,” wrote another commenter. “Thank you for putting these videos out…our dogs are our family and seeing videos with dogs like this shows us how special (and funny!) our best friends are.”
